ABOUT US

Tampa Bay Clean Cities Coalition (TBCCC)

The Tampa Bay Clean Cities Coalition (TBCCC) is a membership-based organization created to coordinate and promote the use of alternative fuels and clean transportation technologies in the Tampa Bay region. The effort was launched in 2012 with support from the Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) of Hillsborough Counry, TECO Energy, the USF Patel School of Global Sustainability, and the USF Center for Urban Transportation Research.

 

As a U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored initiative, Tampa Bay Clean Cities works in concert with and supports the DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Vehicle Technology Program - Clean Cities. TBCCC is housed at the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida.

We work with vehicle fleets, equipment manufacturers, city and county governments, fuel providers, utilities, community organizations, and individuals to promote clean, domestic alternative fuels and technologies.
